6k/year in car payment - probably closer to 9 or 10k once gas and insurance is factored in - is ludicrous on a 40k/year salary. You're going to be spending a week every month working to pay for the car you use to take to work.

Spend 10k on something used and decent.

Not disagreeing at all. I’m glad I made this post, honestly. I’ve spent too much time arguing myself into accepting that cost.

This just doesn’t exist anymore.

I definitely need to be more realistic about this, and I’m sure I can find something in the middle if I keep looking. Fortunately, I’m really not in a rush.
